Anyone tried the Fairing kits on ebay?
I was wondering if anyone has tried these kits, they seem to be from Hong Kong. I recently picked up a 99 Superhawk and the fairings have some scratches and I would like to replace them. And for 500 shipped for an entire bolt on kit thats already painted with graphics seems like a pretty good deal. I was wondering if these are worth it or pure crap. Here's some links to a few

Aside from all three set being for the wrong model, I've had one of those cheap POS kits on a 2007 GSXR750. They are COMPLETE JUNK. Holes don't line up, Mounting points break off if you look at them funny, and the paint sucks. They've also been on a couple bike that I've purchased, both were CBR600RR's, both were junk.

also check under the description line item number 3 it says you supply us with air brush or decal we work with you to make bike custom.. or something close to that effect. it wont let me copy and paste. but it sounds like they are not totally finished. with out some user input to them.

If you are only planning to have a garage queen that never leaves they are perfect. But stuff doesn't line up and the heat resistance if pitiful. Be prepared to get creative with colored tape to fill voids and strengthen weak points. Oh and those are for VTR's aka RVT1000R's, not VTR1000F's. Plus you still have to paint the tank to match unless your bike has a plastic cover over the tank like CBR's have.
